step with a file read variable

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/step with a file read variable

Is it really important to have "Steps" as a constant?
You can use a global and that will work too.

A constant is assigned a specific value before compiling, and when the compiler sees that constant anywhere in your code, it is replaced with the value assigned to it.
A constant cannot be changed during execution of your program, so you can't store a value in it that you've read from a file.
